“Andrew did a great job with our two animals while we were on vacation for about a week. He’s taken great care while house sitting, got our mail, and cleaned our cats litter box. We can always count on and trust Andrew with our pets!”
“Samantha was recommended to me by her roommate, my dog's regular sitter. She was booked and referred me to Samantha. Samantha is a true professional. Not only she gave me updates and my geriatric dog, Rico Suave, the royal treatment. She also gave me peace of mind. I came back to a very happy dog that I don't think really knew I was gone due to all the special care he received. I will definitely book with her again if my regular sitter is not available.”
“Donna and Stephen stayed at our home to watch our older Samoyed. They were great communicators and took amazing care of our house. We would absolutely work with them again!”
“Jon was wonderful with our 13 week old puppy!! It was our first time leaving her overnight and he stayed at our house for 3 nights with her. He was very communicative with any questions he had after reviewing her schedule (she is still pretty needy), sent us wonderful pictures/videos throughout the weekend, and even offered to take us to the airport/pick us up! He left the house as if no one had stayed there and we really appreciated everything! We’d highly recommend him to care for your pup ?”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with two dogs of my own and have since had the opportunity to pet sit for many different kinds of animals. One of my most memorable experiences was caring for 10 newborn puppies by myself, which taught me just how much patience, attentiveness, and responsibility goes into caring for animals. Whether I’m looking after a playful puppy, a senior pet, or a cat who prefers to do their own thing, I always take the time to understand each animal’s individual needs and personality. For me, the most important part of pet sitting is building trust, both with your pet and with you. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing that your animal is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to accommodate your preferred feeding, walking, playtime, and care schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, learn your pet’s routine and personality, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and safe.
“Gail is the best!! She took time to meet up with me beforehand to confirm all details and meet my kitty and she was very responsive, sweet and kind, and she gave my kitty a lot of love and company. My kitty is just as happy and active when I returned home. She is super responsible and even took care of my apartment for me.”
“Melissa sent updates of the fun she had with my dogs, never hesitated to ask if she had a question, followed directions perfectly, and left my house cleaner than I left it!! I wanted a sitter who truly would spend time with my dogs as they are used to someone here mostly at home and Melissa did just that! She showed love and care for my dogs the week we were away. Thank you, Melissa!!”
“Jamie is simply and absolutely the best. Period end of story! Not only would we highly recommended her in a instant but we would not go with anyone else. We know there are a lot of good pet sitters but we have no reason to go with anyone else but Jamie. Jamie is genuinely compassionate and noticeably very caring and most of all she had fun taking care of our loved one. Thank you Jamie. You are now part of our family.! We are very grateful to you.”
About: I have had experiences with many dogs! I used to dog-walk in high school for my neighbors and so have had “Rover-type” experience. My family also has two dogs, both of which I have trained, groomed, bathed, walked, and all things in between for! I have cat-sit numerous times for friends and neighbors. I also worked at a cat hotel for a few months and so have had experience caring for multiple cats at once! I am a PhD student with lots of flexibility on hours and days that I work so I can fit in your pet’s care needs very easily! This means that I would be able to be with your pet early mornings, during the day, late evenings and even weekends! I will be happy to be in constant communication with the client to ensure that I am meeting their and their pet’s needs. I’d be happy to take photos for you if you’re on vacation or just want any updates during the day as well! I am also very organized and keep a detailed calendar and notes on any needs that may come up!
About: A true dog lover will take care of your fur baby and your home while you are away. I believe every dog deserves a vacation while their parents are away. When house sitting, my formula is simple: unlimited belly rubs for your pup and absolute respect for your space. I’m available to take care of your dog(s) and your house over night during the week, all day on Saturday and Sunday and during all major holidays and school breaks. I take care of dogs in client’s home, I take dogs for long walks and give them plenty of love and attention. Lots of playtime too.
“Bridget was the best dog sitter we have ever had (that is saying a lot because we have had him for 11 years)! She communicates with us the whole time and sent a ton of great photos. Our dog has some special needs (arthritis and doesn’t love other dogs) and she handled it perfectly. We will book her for all future vacations and dog walks.”
“Renee is great. Simple as that. Our sometimes tweaky, neurotic terrier, Molly, loved every minute with her housesitter. Renee was thorough, attentive, playful, and giving. She went above and beyond to ensure Molly got all the snuggles, walks, required meds, and love she so needs. I don’t think she wanted her week with Renee to end. Renee is personable, on top of things, and clean. Was my home cleaner when I got back? Holy cow, it was. Thanks Renee. Book her now before I do, again and again.”
“Houston was amazing with our boy Tucker. Because of Houston, we were able to have our baby in our ceremony and it will be one of my favorite memories of my wedding day! We can’t thank Houston enough!??”
“Connor is a consummate professional. I trust him for daily walks and in-home care for longer periods. He cares for my Eleanor as though she was his own dog, which is the highest compliment I can give.”
About: My cousin goes out of town often, so I would stop by her house to check on her dogs (feeding, playing, taking them out for walks, and changing out the pee pads). I also helped care for my roommate’s dogs/puppy. Additionally, I’ve volunteered for dog walks from a local dog shelter! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes to keep them active! I’m a nurse, so I only work 3 nights a week (7pm-7:30am). I have more than half the week available to walk/play/take care of your pets! This also means I am available in the mornings after a shift, as well. Although my work nights vary weekly, I am more than happy to coordinate our schedules that work best for you :) I live close to a lot of forests, trails, and parks, so your pup will have a wonderful time staying active outdoors! I am very attentive to details and will adhere to specific dietary needs!
“Mikayla was great with my dog and cat! Mikayla was very welcoming and friendly with the animals and asked great questions that made me confident they were in good hands!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and have had pets since I was 5 years old. I currently have two cats who I am the primary care giver. My late dog, Mara (a black lab), became diabetic when she was 11. For the last 3 years of her life, I administered her insulin shots twice a day. From March 2019-March 2020, I volunteered at CARE Skokie and have watched friend’s cats and dogs over the years while they were away. Animal welfare means a lot to me and I understand the importance of providing consistent and loving care. I would love to have the opportunity to be of service to you and your four-legged family member(s)! I recently resigned from my job in Wealth Management and am focusing on doing things that are more fulfilling and I love animals. I am currently working part time at a local garden shop and have a flexible schedule that allows me time to tend to your pet(s) as needed! I grew up with a dog and have two cats at home who I am the primary care giver for. I am an advocate for all animals to be well taken care of and understand the importance of their needs being met through consistency and loving care.

Taz is a little ball of energy, but he is also very nervous with new people. Emily was a totally new person to Taz. She worked carefully with Taz at his pace. Over the two weeks we were gone, she patiently waited as Taz become more and more comfortable. She also gave us updates on his progress. By the time we returned Taz was snuggling up with Emily. 🙂 I highly recommend Emily especially if you have a nervous pup.
Sophia did an excellent job caring for my pet - all the while accommodating her schedule around mine so that she could fulfill my sitting request. I appreciate her consistency and communication. She’s clean and respectful. Always have peace of mind while Sophia tends to my pup.
Addison was awesome from the very first message, where she initiated the meet and greet. She was great, very communicative, professional, and Tessa, our dog who has high anxiety, seemed to really like her when they first met. When we got home Tessa was super happy so we couldn't be happier with Addison. We would definitely use her again if we had the opportunity to.
This was our first time with Alex and it was a wonderful experience. She housesit for our Doodle and she was super responsive, provided great updates and pics and left our place in great shape! Tess was more than well looked after and had a great time with Alex. Would highly recommend!
Tasha is our absolute favorite! She is reliable, intelligent, considerate, conscientious, and the glowing review goes on and on! I have been a fur momma for 20 years, and I can without a say she’s one of the best! I can enjoy my time away knowing that my animals are safe and sound AND loved on 😊Our cats Frankie and Maple adore Tasha, and so do their parents! 😊🙃👌🏼

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kenilworth is $94 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $83 and $110 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 7,589 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kenilworth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kenilworth walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kenilworth maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kenilworth choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kenilworth. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
